HealthFirst Spine & Wellness

From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted by friendly staff and knowledgeable Doctors. The office wasn't gloomy like most but new and contemporary with state of the art equipment. They LISTENED to me and gave me choices based on my health goals. I have nev...er been so impressed with the personalized care and the understanding and willingness to genuinely want to help. I have referred 3 of my family members there and we are all feeling SO much better and have learned so much about health along the way. I would highly recommend this office to any one not only seeking to feel better but to also experience what chiropractic care should be like! Read More

After a car wreck, I went to a chiropractic clinic owned by Dr. Brad Holden, D.C. His business was then called Health First Chiropractic. The office had just been taken over by Dr. Holden and was formally called Legend Oaks Chiropractic. I went because a friend was... seeing a Dr. Turner. A chiropractor that was part of the old practice, Legend Oaks. When I asked for copies of my bills after my first visit I was told they were changing staff and computer systems and could not give me the info yet. Meanwhile they were sending bills to my insurance compony and depositing the checks. After many visits of asking I finally insisted on copies of my bills . I found they were charging me 3 times more than my friends were being charged for the same service! Supposedly because my friends were existing patients they were charged less, but Dr. Turner was not aware of this change in charges. When I asked for an adjustment of the bill they would not change my past billing because my PIP(personal injury coverage) had already been charged. They did however lower my future rates a little. I didn't want to change Doctors at the time because I was injured and ended up needing surgery to fuse 3 vertebra. Then, three years later I got a call from my lawyer asking if I had unpaid bills with Health First. Dr. Holden's office had called him claiming he owed them money from my case. This of corse was untrue. My bills were all "paid in full" by my PIP(personal injury coverage) within a month of service . Six months prior to this I had contacted Dr. Holden's office for my medical records needed for a lawsuit. I picked them up in person and there was no mention of unpaid bills . They were just trying to hit up my lawyer for some quick cash. Doctors like this give chiropractic's a bad name and Dr. Holden should not be trusted. I can't help but wonder if he changed the name of his "HealthFirst Chiropractic Center" to "HealthFirst Wellness Center" to eliminate the bad reviews he had. People please beware so this or any of his other scams does not catch you. Read More

I've never seen a chiropractor before for my back pain and didn't know what to expect. Needless to say I am thrilled with my experience at HealthFirst! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the facility is clean and relaxing, and the adjustments have had a significan...t affect on decreasing my lower back and sciatic pain. I am 3 weeks in and have at least another 5 weeks to go. I will post another review once I have completed the process. Read More

This was my first experience with a chiropractor and I was a little nervous. But those nerves quickly disappeared after simply making my appointment! Stephanie, the receptionist, was extremely helpful. She answered all of my questions and put me at ease. Dr. Kurt did a ...great job of explaining to me everything that was going on as well as walking me through the procedure. He even gave me a follow up call the next day to check on me! Being pregnant, I'm very hesitant to trust my health and my baby's health with just anyone. Healthfirst has earned my trust. Great staff, can't wait to go back!!! Read More

I have been going to different chiropractors for low back pain for over 30 years just to maintain the pain I experienced on a daily basis. This was the first time someone explained exactly what was going on with my spine and how it can be corrected. I was experiencing h...eadaches daily for several weeks to the point of not being able to function and do my job as well as I wanted to. After visiting the docs for two months, I no longer have a chronic headache, my back is doing better than ever. I didn't want to settle for an MD just giving me pain meds, this was the solution. Definitely impressed with the passion and enthusiam conveyed by all the staff. Read More

I would like to recommend HealthFirst Wellness Center for all of your South Austin or Greater Austin Chiropractic needs. I have had excellent care here for 6+ months and would recommend their practice for anyone seeking chiropractic services. I sought chiropractic c...are after a variety of more traditional treatments weren't working for me. From the beginning, I really appreciated the attention that Dr. Holden gave me each time I was there. It was very different from the cattle call type doctor's visit that we've all experienced. In the beginning of my care, I was especially impressed with the time Dr. Holden spent with me explaining my varied stress related issues and how they all were interacting in my body and how I could treat my total person. I found his advice, both during adjustments and for other total wellness issues very helpful and inspiring. Everyone's needs for chiropractic care are different and I know that my experience during the initial, and now maintenance phase of my treatment was very satisfactory. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful and it's always nice to see Stephanie's smiling face when you arrive for you adjustment. I highly recommend HealthFirst Wellness Center based on my personal experience with the friendly, experienced, and helpful doctors and staff. Read More
